+
+Access control list
+-------------------
+
+|tcm|'s *access control list* (*ACL*) determines user access to particular data
+and functions stored in clusters. You can use it to allow or deny access to specific
+stored objects one by one.
+
+Each ACL entry specifies privileges that a |tcm| user has on a particular
+space or a function. There are three access privileges that can be granted in the ACL:
+read, write, and execute (for stored functions only). The privileges work as follows:
+
+-   Spaces:
+
+    - ``Read``: the user sees the space and its tuples on the **Tuples** and **Explorer** pages
+    - ``Write``: the user can add new and edit existing tuples of the space
+
+-   Functions:
+
+    - ``Read``: the user sees the function on the **Functions** tab of the instance details page.
+    - ``Write``: the user can edit or delete the function
+    - ``Execute``: the user can call the function
+
+.. important::
+
+    User access to space data and stored functions is primarily defined by the
+    :ref:`cluster permissions <tcm_access_control_permissions_cluster>` ``cluster.space.data.*`` and ``cluster.func.*``.
+    ACL only increases the access control granularity to particular objects.
+    Make sure that users have these permissions before enabling ACL for them.
+
+.. _tcm_access_control_acl_enable:
+
+Enabling ACL for a user
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To granularly manage a user's access to particular objects in a cluster, enable
+the use of ACL in the user profile:
+
+#.  Go to **Users** and click **Edit** in the **Actions** menu of the corresponding table row.
+
+#.  In the user's **Clusters** list, add a cluster on which you want to use ACL
+    or click the pencil icon if the cluster is already on the list.
+
+#.  Select the **Use Access Control List (ACL)** checkbox and save changes.
+
+#.  Repeat two previous steps for each cluster on which you want to use ACL for this user.
+
+#.  Click **Update** to save the user account.
+
+If the user doesn't exist yet, you can do the same when creating it.
+
+.. important::
+
+    When ACL use is enabled for a user, this user loses access to all spaces and
+    functions of the selected cluster except the ones explicitly specified in the ACL.
+
+.. _tcm_access_control_acl_manage:
+
+Managing ACL
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The tools for managing ACL are located on the **ACL** page.
+
+To add an ACL entry:
+
+#.  Click **Add**.
+#.  Select a user to which you want to grant access.
+#.  Select a cluster that stores the target object: a space or a function.
+#.  Select the target object type and enter its name.
+#.  Select the privileges you want to grant.
+
+To delete an ACL entry, click **Delete** in the **Actions** menu of the corresponding table row.

+
+API tokens
+----------
+
+|tcm| uses the Bearer HTTP authentication scheme with *API tokens* to authenticate
+external applications' requests to |tcm|. For example, these can be Prometheus
+jobs that retrieve metrics of connected Tarantool clusters.
+
+Each |tcm| API token belongs to the user that created it and has the same :ref:`access permissions <tcm_access_control_permissions>`.
+Thus, if a user has a permission to view a cluster's metrics in |tcm|, this user's
+API tokens can be used to read this cluster's metrics with Prometheus.
+
+API tokens have expiration dates that are set during the token creation and cannot
+be changed.
+
+.. _tcm_access_control_api_tokens_manage:
+
+Managing API tokens
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. note::
+
+    Each user, including **Default Admin** and other administrators, can create only
+    their own tokens. There is no way to create a token for another user.
+
+To create a |tcm| API token:
+
+#. Open the user settings by clicking the user's name in the top-right corner.
+#. Go to the **API tokens** tab and click **Add**.
+#. Specify the token expiration date and an optional description and click **Add**.
+
+The created token is shown in a dialog.
+
+.. important::
+
+    An API token is shown only once after its creation. There is no way to view
+    it again after you close the dialog. Make sure to copy the token in a safe place.
+
+To delete an API token, click **Delete** in the actions menu of the corresponding
+**API tokens** table row.
+
+Administrators can also view information about users' API tokens and delete them
+on the **Secrets** page. To open a user's secrets, click **Secrets** in the **Actions**
+menu of the corresponding **Users** table row.
